    How it works

    Betamethasone valerate is an active topical corticosteroid which produces a rapid response in those inflammatory dermatoses that are normally responsive to topical corticosteroid therapy and is often effective in the less responsive conditions such as psoriasis. Neomycin sulfate is a broad-spectrum bactericidal antibiotic effective against the majority of bacteria commonly associated with skin infections.

    Indication

    When not to Use

    Betamethasone valerate-neomycin sulphate is contraindicated in children under 2 years of age. Due to the known ototoxic and nephrotoxic potential of neomycin sulphate, the use of betamethasone valerate-neomycin sulphate in large quantities or on large areas for prolonged periods of time is contraindicated in circumstances where significant systemic absorption may occur.

    PRECAUTIONS

    Precaution

    Bacterial infection is encouraged by the warm, moist conditions within skin folds or caused by occlusive dressings. When using occlusive dressings, the skin should be cleansed before a fresh dressing is applied.

    WARNINGS

    Warning 1

    Betamethasone valerate-neomycin sulphate should be used with caution in patients with a history of local hypersensitivity to betamethasone, neomycin or to any of the excipients in the preparation.

    Warning 2

    If prolonged or significant diarrhoea occurs or the patient experiences abdominal cramps, treatment should be discontinued immediately and the patient investigated further.

    Warning 3

    In comparison with adults, children may absorb proportionally larger amounts of topical corticosteroids and thus be more susceptible to systemic adverse effects.
